How to use 景点
景点 is the everyday word for any place tourists go to see, from famous landmarks to small local sights. It often pairs with words like 旅游 (lǚyóu, travel) or 著名 (zhùmíng, famous). Example: 这个城市有很多有名的景点。(Zhège chéngshì yǒu hěn duō yǒumíng de jǐngdiǎn.) This city has many famous tourist attractions.
景 (jǐng) means scenery, and 点 (diǎn) means a point or spot. A 景点 is a "scenery point", a spot on the map where the view is worth a visit.
Common mistake: Both syllables are third tone, so in speech the first changes to a rising tone and sounds like jíngdiǎn. Learners also mix it up with 地点 (dìdiǎn), which is any location, such as the place of a meeting, not a tourist sight.
